In Georgia, Im assuming GA-04 went for Nixon and GA-05 for Humpherey.  In Florida, probably the only seat that went for Humpherey was the Bill Lehman seat in Dade.  In Louisiana, I assume LA-02 went for Humpherey.  In North Carolina, maybe NC-04 went for Humpherey.  In VA-02 was the only one to go for Humpherey.  In Texas, Humpherey probably won most districts except for the suburban ones. I think he even one what is now Chet Edwards' district.

Yes. Yes.  FL 11 only HHH seat.  Yes. Wrong.  NC4 Nixon.  Yes.  HHH won TX 1, 6, 8-12, 14-17, 20, 23.

What almanac are you referring to for 1976 CD presidential results?  AAP 1978 & 1980 does not have those districts.

Colorado 1 went for Humphrey; Colorado 3 went for Nixon by 7307 votes.  All three of the Kentucky districts you mentioned went for Humphrey.    You still haven't said what your source is for the presidential vote in 1976 for the districts I am missing.  It is not in AAP 78 or 80 for those districts.
